Staff Nurse - Endoscopy
Band 5
Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is the only acute hospital provider in the Mid and South Essex Integrated Care System (ICS), which is a system of health and care partners working together for our local population.
Within Mid and South Essex there are 149 GP practices, operating from over 200 sites, forming 27 Primary Care Networks and one Ambulance Trust. There are also three main community and mental health service providers who work together through a community collaborative.
We collaborate with other valuable partners, including three Healthwatch organisations, nine voluntary and community sector organisations and three top tier local authorities, with seven district, borough and city councils, as well as our local universities.
Job overview
MSE has been successful in securing funding for a new elective endoscopy hub in the Pitsea CDC. With this centre being away from the busy acute sites, it will offer protected elective capacity, allowing for maximum productivity and an improved patient experience. The unit will be designed to meet JAG accreditation standards, offer brand new facilities and equipment and will be the largest endoscopy unit in Essex.
This centre will provide most of the cancer, routine and surveillance activity for colonoscopy, gastroscopy and flexi sigmoidoscopy across the system.
Whilst we await the new Pitsea CDC, funding has been agreed through the national programme to support a 2-room endoscopy mobile unit at Orsett Hospital, in south-west Essex and circa 15 minutes from the future Pitsea CDC.
We are now recruiting endoscopy nurses to join our expanding team. So, if you are looking for your next role in Endoscopy, please apply today.
